If so, what is the name?

My S50 is "Runt" to me

morecarl · 08-05-2005, 06:38 PM

VTX1300C = Grunt

blackie1491 · 08-05-2005, 07:04 PM

I have been known to talk to it, if I name it, it might talk back.

Smurf · 08-05-2005, 07:19 PM

Nope!

My wife would get jealous.

MagnumForce · 08-05-2005, 07:22 PM

MONGO, conqueror of the universe!!

Rhiannon... Celtic goddess of the moon and inspiration, the enchanting fairy princess who rode so swiftly no horseman could catch her... My '05 GSX-R600

blackie1491 · 08-05-2005, 08:49 PM

I understand why i talk to my bike, no one else would belive the posts here.

Scourge · 08-05-2005, 11:32 PM

Nope, but like many others I do talk to her.

Scott58 · 08-06-2005, 12:42 AM

Yes they have all been named "baby". "come on baby you can make it" choke, sputter, lurch. "Come on baby".

BigD · 08-06-2005, 12:44 AM

Mine is befittingly called Black Beauty. When I go to the garage I like to sing to her in my best Joe Cocker voice, "You are soooo beautiful.... to me....."
The scary part is my wife is OK with it. My boy and wife call her Moe Moe. And YES, we are all normal, I think!

I should start calling her my new wife,,,,, she gets all my money,,,occupies all my time,,,takes up space in the Longe,,, acts the fool whenever,, is always pretty and nice,,,and like a wife,,,no matter how much I do for her,,, I will still get no booty from her,,,but then again,,if I call her my wife,,then she may up and run away with another,,,maybe I will stick to just calling her "The Beast"!!!!! Yep,,that's it,,,

MagnumForce · 08-06-2005, 04:10 AM

Hey Sean, haven't you referred to your LC as the "lounge chair" in the past? I think that's the perfect name for your ride.

skullman91 · 08-06-2005, 06:28 AM

i call mine lucky, since its not

MagnumForce · 08-06-2005, 06:40 AM

Whenever I get around to getting a larger displacement bike, I have thought of naming it "Son of Mongo." However, using Skullman's logic, I could just name it "Tiny."

simplegame · 08-06-2005, 11:15 AM

Money Pit! I tell it I will adjust it's vavles when it stops sucking up all my money for new parts!

JES883 · 08-06-2005, 11:41 AM

I've inadvertently begun calling my bike a name that I can't post on this forum.

citizenstitch · 08-06-2005, 12:09 PM

no, but maybe i should..

MidLifeCrazy · 08-06-2005, 12:36 PM

Betty! As in "Black Betty" the song by Led Belly 1930's (Ram Jam -1975 made it popular again...even though it was a one hit wonder)

stevie c · 08-07-2005, 10:04 AM

I talk the bike but never used a name, she knows who I am speaking to anyway!
